REPORT: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Shown Major Disrespect by NFL Analyst

Some have their reservations about the kind of impact 35-year-old tight end Travis Kelce can have for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Shown Major Disrespect by NFL Analyst - Yahoo Sports

The 10-time Pro Bowler is coming off the worst season of his career, in which he logged a career-low 823 yards and three touchdown catches, and there’s some serious questions about how much he has left in the tank after he recorded just two 100-yard games last season, one of which came in the playoffs.

Kelce maintains he can still be a productive member of Kansas City’s passing game, and Chiefs general manager Brett Veach seemingly agrees with him.

“You’ll see Travis have more of an impact,” Veach told reporters back in May. “Maybe it’s not in production, but it’s the offense (overall), which is much different (than) in the past when it always kind of ran through Kelce.

“… The numbers won’t be the same. I mean, you have to acknowledge a certain aspect of that, right? I don’t know if I look at it in terms of, like, expectations for yardage or touchdowns or catches. I think that when he’s on the field now, he makes us better. And I think that he’s also a guy that makes the people around him better.”

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (87) leaves the field after warm ups before Super Bowl LVII against the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium.

And while Kelce and the rest of those in the Chiefs building may be convinced he can still be a difference-maker, one NFL analyst isn’t convinced.

Pete Prisco of CBS Sports recently ranked his top 100 NFL players heading into 2025, and he had Kelce just barely making the cut, taking the No. 96 spot.

For comparison, Prisco had Kelce ranked 78 spots higher (No. 18) in his rankings last year.

“Age started to look like it was impacting Kelce’s play last season as he didn’t look to be the same player,” Prisco wrote. “There were moments, but the consistency wasn’t there. He had 97 catches, but he averaged just 8.5 per catch, the lowest of his career, which is not a good sign for a 35-year-old.”

Per Prisco’s rankings, Kelce is still a top-five tight end, but he’s lost some serious ground to the next generation of top, young pass-catchers.

Prisco has four other TEs ahead of Kelce — Vegas’ Brock Bowers (No. 22), San Francisco’s George Kittle (No. 25), Arizona’s Trey McBride (No. 42), and Detroit’s Sam LaPorta (No. 86).
